Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is administered via a weekly injection, which you can do at home after your provider shows you how to do it.

Tirzepatide has been shown to be safe for long-term use under the supervision of a healthcare provider, especially for those needing long-term weight management.

Tirzepatide is a dual-acting medication that mimics hormones involved in blood sugar control and appetite regulation. It’s effective for weight loss in people with or without type 2 diabetes.

Treatment length varies by patient, but most see results within a few months. Your provider will monitor progress and adjust the dosage or treatment plan as needed.

The most common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. These symptoms usually lessen over time as the body adjusts to the medication.
